Following Saturday’s performance of “Intractable Woman” the Department of Theater Arts hosted a talk between investigative reporter Matthew Kupfer ’12 and Russian journalist Elena Kostyuchenko titled “The Legacy of Anna Politkovskaya and Journalism Today.” It would be remiss not to mention that Kupfer has extensive experience covering stories in Eastern Europe and the United States at the global and local levels. Both Kostyuchenko and Kupfer asked each other questions and answered inquiries from the audience.

In March of this year, the permanent collection of the Musée National d’art Moderne — the National Modern Art Museum — of Paris closed its doors for five years. Consecrated as the Centre Georges Pompidou, this modern art museum has housed a large collection of avant-garde art from the early 20th century since 1977. The Pompidou center represents the history of the avant-garde in Paris and the promulgation of modern art as a national art form. Such a closing of a historic collection has been disheartening to say the least. Despite the varied personal opinions of modern art, there is no denying the historical impact of this art style as a social movement.

On Friday March 7, Rather Be Giraffes held their Baby Shower, welcoming three new students to their all gender a capella group. The night began with a mesmerizing cover of “Winner” by Conan Gray, lead by Nicole Benton ’26. While the song itself evokes a somber and deeply emotional mood, the atmosphere of the night was anything but. Following Benton’s solo, Kaila Silber ’25, dazzled the audience with a soulful rendition of Olivia Dean’s “Dive.” In the same romantic sultry tone, the last of the love songs came with Adele’s “All I Ask” featuring Sydney Duncan ’25. With a shift in tempo and a spotlight on the next generation of talent, the night concluded with a lively Beach Boys medley, featuring the 'baby giraffes' — Sarah Jafary ’28, Sara Hyde-Touissant ’28 and Mia Warshaviak ’27.

“Severance” is currently airing its second season on Apple TV+. So far, the first seven episodes have met the high expectations set by the show’s first season, which aired in 2022. The show is a science fiction thriller which, as the name suggests, involves severing oneself into two different consciousnesses colloquially referred to as ‘innies’ and ‘outies.’ The ‘innie’ version of an individual exists solely at work, conscious only after they clock in and until they clock out. The ‘outie’ is the version of the individual which lives every other aspect of their life. Crucially, memories are not shared between the two. Innies are created with somewhat of a blank slate as they retain rudimentary knowledge of the world, but need to be informed of their first name and first initial of their last name to acquire any aspect of a personal identity. Essentially all an innie knows is their work at Lumon Industries, the company that invented the severance procedure.

Hosted by Conan O’Brien, this year’s Academy Awards was a spectacle that paid tribute to icons of filmmaking, especially in a location as influential as Los Angeles. During its first moments, the broadcast honored the city showing prominent film clips of the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood Hills among other landmarks. To start off the night, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande performed beautiful songs from “The Wizard of Oz”, “The Wiz” and “Wicked” showing there’s no place like home. Undoubtedly, the evening was about honoring what goes beyond the screen and the global impact of authentic storytelling.

“Emilia Pérez” has been called many things: offensive, tasteless, a regressive and stereotypical portrayal of the trans experience, heinous, the list of negative adjectives goes on. Despite this, the film is critically acclaimed and has recieved numerous accolades at Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards, and multiple award nominations. The film is up for 11 British Academy Film Awards and three Screen Actors Guild awards. Most impressive of all is the truly baffling 13 Oscar nominations it has received, putting “Emilia Pérez” only one nomination away from joining “All About Eve,” “Titanic,” and “La La Land” as the most nominated films in Oscars history.

How do we navigate a world that often feels beyond understanding? Where do we turn when uncertainty shapes our future and anxiety defines our present? One potential place is art — or more specifically, Surrealism. A movement which essentially grew during a period of strife and conflict between World Wars I and II, Surrealism offers a lens through which we can tap into realms and realities beyond what’s directly perceivable. Although art in its multitude of forms cannot be dated, October 2024 marked the centennial of Surrealism. To honor such a pivotal event in art history, the Rose Art Museum unveiled two new exhibitions that represent the Surrealist movement.

This past Christmas, director Robert Eggers, known for “The Lighthouse” and “The Witch,” released his eagerly awaited film “Nosferatu.” This modern reinvention of the 1922 film “Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror” is being hailed for reviving the gothic horror genre and with a slate of underrated, though adored, actors the movie provides a uniquely contemporary interpretation with thematic shifts representative of current politics. Nonetheless, Eggers’ direction respects its inspiration with silent film cinematography practices and a return to the spirit of the period’s feminist depictions.
